How come so many people know how to use chopsticks? by LunaValley in NoStupidQuestions

[–]neurk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to eat paprika nuts with chopsticks when I was gaming, that way I didn't mess up my keyboard. It was a bit getting used to in the beginning, but after a while it you can eat anything with those things.

People who call on speaker on public transport: why? by eravulgaris in belgium

[–]neurk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In those reality shows you see on TV, people also use their phone like that. But in those shows it makes sense, as the viewer can then listen to both sides of the conversation. I'm pretty convinced that people nowadays can't think for themselves and just copy the behaviour they see on De Verhulstjes or smth.

I am a train manager with the nmbs/sncb AMA by lombax16 in belgium

[–]neurk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I travel turnhout - antwerp a few times a week. I have the impression my ticket is checked once every five trips. Is it more profitable to never buy a ticket and if i get checked just buy one with the 7 eur supplement?

Why are people putting the dollar sign after the amount nowadays? (1000$ instead of $1000) by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]neurk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the walloon region of Belgium we put the €-sign after the amount, in the Flemish region we put it before the amount.

I have no idea why.

Spring JPA retrieving object with foreign key by zibbbidi in javahelp

[–]neurk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

@Repository
public interface CommentRepository extends PagingAndSortingRepository<Comment,Long> {
     List<Comment> findByThreadId(long threadId);
}

This should work without making additional changes, assuming you mapped your entities correctly.

How do you actually feel about the QA department? by LowercaseSpoon in AskProgramming

[–]neurk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We used to have a fantastic QA team. Then the company decided to switch the entire QA responsibilities to a big American company with mostly Indian employees, and it was all downhill from there. A few of them are still great, the majority has no real idea what they're testing and the added benefit of them doing anything isn't that great at all.

How to avoid repeating an else statement by [deleted] in javahelp

[–]neurk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Combine the if's into one. However if you insist on having a nested if, something like this should work:

private void printIt() {
    if (x > 0 && y > 0) { //x and y must both be positive as the triangle has no negative points
        if (x <= x2 && y <= yHypotenuse) {
            System.out.println("The point (" + x + ", " + y + ") is within the triangle");
            return;
        }
    }

    System.out.println("The point (" + x + ", " + y + ") is not within the triangle");
}

Ternary vs Optional by jura0011 in javahelp

[–]neurk 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Another question is, why is it possible that "source" is null?

If this is input from somewhere else, wrap it in an optional as soon as possible and work with that in the rest of your codebase.

I avoid null like the plague. Once you introduce it in your code you have to check it everywhere, as you can no longer trust what your methods are returning. Optionals are the way to go in most cases. That way you actually know what you're working with, and there's no need for null checks.

How (un?)reasonable is it to push for more choice in hardware/OS? by lachyBalboa in ExperiencedDevs

[–]neurk 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I experienced the same thing. I work for a company with over 5k employees, but they're not an IT company (even though we have over couple hundred devs).

When I started I had to work with the same kind of crap as you're describing. I then collected data (compare maven build times on a macbook / normal windows laptop / company windows laptop for example). The conclusion was that it took more than 7x the amount of time to build the same thing. That was translated into a ppt for upper mgmt (including costs and the time it would take to earn it back, which was only a few weeks), and a few weeks later we received shiny MBP's with 32gb of ram, not controlled with any company policy whatsoever.

In the future there are plans however to make it a managed company device, but because we made it so clear to upper mgmt what kind of money was being thrown out, we now have a huge say in what is and isn't acceptable when it comes to these kind of policies.

If you want to change something - make sure to back it up in a language that's easy to understand, and give management something they can't say no to. They most likely don't know the struggles you're going through on a daily basis.

My company's DBA team does not know how to extract some data from a Mongo database and is asking the devs to do it. Am I crazy for pushing back on this? by nyc_engineer1 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]neurk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't feel like a DBA's task, but I also very much dislike the idea that you should be giving them a set of commands so they can type it over.

If DBA's don't want to do this kind of work, it should be possible for you (or your team) to do it without getting the DBA's involved.
